My load/unload cycle count for the WD10EARS-00Y5B1 I have, if the hex-dec conversion is correct, is 0000013B7F = 80,767. In two years or so, working as a storage/media drive. I went to bother the drive just to see the counter rise, it's accurate.

Drives can take hundreds of thousands of these. Non-issue mechanically. Has not been a noise issue either.

I guess you meant 80767 (do you use "," as thousand separators in Finland?).That comforts me. I thought that my 8800 cycle count for my hd503hi in almost 3 years was exaggerated.
